Like Conor McGregor, Warren Davis was serving a plumbing apprenticeship until he risked everything to invest his time into making it as a full-time footballer
Like McGregor, Davis was training to be a plumber until he took a risk and decided to take a different kind of plunge, investing everything into a sporting career.Injuries got in his way, a contributing factor to Shamrock Rovers’ decision not to keep him. He went to UCD next but was let go from there too and ended up in Drogheda on trial after impressing Adam Foley in a tournament in the UK.
He said: “Without doubt it is the best goal I have ever scored. Kev always jokes that I only score from tackles, where I have closed people down and the ball has ended up going into the net. “Still, I don’t want to get too carried away but to see Drogheda United at the top of the league is unbelievable because people were writing us off before the season started, saying we were relegation favourites.
